🧘‍♀️ Presenter | Luke Ney

Explore a fascinating psychological “field theory of the self,” revealing how the mind and psyche are shaped by organising principles found throughout nature, with insights into everyday life and mental wellbeing. This thought-provoking lecture also connects these ideas to self-inquiry and the spiritual path, highlighting the transformative role of letting go in deeper self-realisation.

🌟 PUBLIC LECTURE 🌟 Synchronicity 🌟

🧘‍♀️ Presenter | Geoff Dargie
📅 7:00 PM | Wednesday 17 June 2026
📍 Brisbane Theosophical Society | 355 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill

🌟 LECTURE CONTENT 🌟
Synchronicity invites us to explore the mysterious realm of meaningful coincidence, where inner consciousness and outer events appear woven together beyond ordinary cause and effect. Drawing on the insights of Carl Jung and Wayne Dyer, this lecture examines whether such experiences may reveal latent powers within human consciousness and relate to the Theosophical Society third object ‘To investigate the unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in Man.’

🌟 WHO IS GEOFF? 🌟
Having first joined the The Theosophical Society as a young member through the “Young Theosophists,” Geoff’s lifelong spiritual journey has woven through both the Theosophical and Liberal Catholic Church traditions for more than four decades. In this fourth Brisbane lecture since returning to the Society in 2018, he reflects on a lifetime of service, spiritual inquiry, and the deeper currents that continue to guide his path.
